winterstorm

Hello, I’m here to have fun and primarily enjoy swapping postcards.

I’m not here to strive for perfection. If I can’t send something out on time, I’ll try to let you know, and I offer the same grace to others who communicate.

Postcard Preferences

I’m happy with whatever postcard you choose, but if you’d like ideas (in no particular order):

• Postcrossing meetups
• Watercolors
• Anything related to my hobbies or interests
• Cards with gold or silver foil (shiny is great—no glitter… maybe I’m secretly a bird)

Favorite colors: - Blue (all shades especially medium to dark shades) - Purple (darker shades) - Grey

Mailing & Communication Notes

• I usually mark items as sent once they’re in my mailbox
• There's usually a short delay before they’re postmarked
• I currently mail and register items mostly on Fridays

If you don’t receive something, please let me know so I can help resolve it.

It’s not sustainable for me to be constantly active here—I have real-life responsibilities.

Please Don’t Send

• Drink powders (hot chocolate is the exception)
• Loose decorated scraps used for scrapbooking or junk journaling

A Note on Personal Writing

I sometimes write about my life, thoughts, and feelings, ranging from casual to serious.

If I share something personal and you’d like to respond, I kindly ask that you do not post about it publicly on my profile. Please reply privately (via message or snail mail).

Hobbies & Interests

• Writing (original fiction and fanfiction, various genres)
• Learning languages: Japanese, German, Hindi
• Sudoku
• Astrology & tarot
• Lexicography & linguistics
• Math, engineering, research
• Stationery
• Video games (roguelikes, strategy, RPGs, visual novels, otome games)
• Escape rooms
• Guinea pigs & dogs

Languages

Languages I know to any degree: - English - Hindi - German - Japanese - Spanish (studied in high school; no longer actively learning, but still remember pieces)

* If you know any declining or endangered languages, I’d love to learn about them in your card.

A Little More

I rotate between postcards, tarot cards, and Vedic astrology stars. The Vedic aspects are part of my Indian culture.

I used to enjoy reading but have been dealing with burnout for a long time. Frieren helped break that cycle, and the healing continues.

Random fact: I collect keychains—especially souvenir ones that swivel around an axis.
